Saddlepoint Approximations with Applications - Ronald W. (Colorado State University) Butler - Bog

This book explains in simple language how saddlepoint approximations make computations of probabilities tractible for complex models. No previous background in the area is required as the book introduces the subject from the very beginning. Many real data examples show the methods at work. For statisticians, biostatisticians, electrical engineers, econometricians, and applied mathematicians.
